The floating caliper brake used in the front car wheel is shown in the following figures. The caliper supports a single floating piston actuated by hydraulic pressure. Two annular pads, ri=100 mm, ro=140mm, subtend an angle of 110°, have a coefficient of friction of 0.4, and are actuated by a pair of hydraulic cylinders 40mm in diameter. The torque requirement is 1350 N.m. For uniform wear (a) Find the largest normal pressure pa. (b) Estimate the actuating force F. (c) Find the equivalent radius re and force location r. (d) Estimate the required hydraulic pressure.

We see that 35 of the 47 compact vehicles have front wheel drive while 38 of the 41 midsize vehicles have front wheel drive. We wish the test that the proportion of front wheel drive cars is the same in compact and midsize vehicles. Formally, we will test H0 : pc = pm vs Ha : pc ̸= pm, where pc and pm are the proportion of front wheel drive cars in compacts and midsize cars. We will test at...

Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car with four wheel drive that is heading up a 8° slope (one that makes an angle of 8° with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that the static coefficient of friction is involved--that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (a) on dry concrete ________m/s2 (b) on wet concrete _________ m/s2 (c) on ice, assuming that µs = 0.100, the same as for shoes on ice _________m/s2
